Senior HR Business Partner
At Nexar, HR is practical, honest, intentional. Join us as Senior HRBP to shape culture, earn trust fast & make real impact.
DESCRIPTION
At Nexar, people are our greatest asset, and HR is the team that makes it real. We’re high-trust, high-impact, and focused on practical systems, honest conversations, and intentional culture - not bureaucracy.
We’re hiring a Senior HR Business Partner who needs to earn trust quickly, get things done without drama, and balance excellence with humanity. Sharp, warm, collaborative people are the ones who thrive here.
You’ll partner closely with our HR Director (going on parental leave in early 2026), stepping in as a stabilising force during that absence, and beyond, by owning critical people programs with empathy, adaptability, and structure - all at once.
Non-English applications will be automatically rejected.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Performance & development cycles — own the entire mid-year process: comms, calibration, manager support, tracking, follow-through
- Compensation reviews — partner with HR Director and Finance to prepare, run, and document our yearly comp cycle; own off-cycle situations during leave
- Offboarding & transitions — handle sensitive exits with care, clarity, and thorough documentation
- Engagement surveys — own survey cycles, interpret results, propose concrete action
- HR operations infrastructure — streamline templates, workflows, tools, and compliance as needed, without becoming bureaucratic
- Manager enablement — support managers across levels with thoughtful nudges, practical tools, and real talk
- Org & team changes — support possible org design projects, change comms, and team transitions
- People data & reporting — work with structured dashboards, analyze trends, report meaningfully as needed
This role is not for you if
- You’re still learning the ropes of HR
- You prefer to build vision over quiet, flawless execution
- You flinch at Google Sheets or have never written 20 cm long IF formulas
- You’re not ready to own entire streams of work independently
- You’re not yet comfortable making high-stakes decisions on your own
REQUIREMENTS
Technical skills & qualifications
- About 5 years in HR / People Ops, including 2+ years of owning programs at HRBP or strategic People Ops level (mandatory)
- Experience running performance and compensation cycles end-to-end
- Fluency in Portuguese labor law and confidence in handling HR compliance and processes
- Working knowledge of U.S. employment and benefits — the more, the better
- Comfortable with people data and metrics — you can interpret trends, guide decisions, and tell a story from numbers
- Strong communication skills — clear, warm, confident writing across docs, updates, and Slack
- Fluent in tools like HiBob, Confluence, Notion, Google Sheets, Slack, AI tools — or, most importantly, quick to learn, self-sufficient, and biased for automation
- Excellent written and verbal communication in English — you write clearly, naturally, and in a tone people trust (mandatory)
Personal skills & traits
- Trustworthy operator — people hand you ownership and know things will get done well
- Strong judgment — you flex tone, style, and approach depending on context and audience
- Adaptable — you can pick up someone else’s style and work within it, not around it
- Steady presence — you bring structure and calm, especially under pressure
- Exec-aware without being performative — you earn trust, hold your ground, and don’t get rattled
- High standards — you take pride in doing excellent work, not in being the loudest in the room
WHAT WE OFFER
- The chance to have a meaningful and positive impact on roads and cities’ safety
- Flexibility - in schedule, work location, benefits
- Competitive compensation
- A fast-paced work environment full of kind, smart, and highly driven people
- Great professional and personal growth opportunities
- Regular team-building events and well-being initiatives/facilities
